Just out of curiousity. I know we got lots of Biashara Universities offering Mickey mouse degrees. But Just how many Engineering students are having their internships at SGR. Probably non.

There are there, however, all design documents, drawings and manuals are in Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese.

I once received shop drawings in Chinese from a contractor for a dam project and wondered "WTF!".

The ministry of education should have facilitated the internships and dictated what they get paid.... actually, the government can even pay them but ensure that a curriculum is developed where the kenyans will be left to maintain the railway when the chinese are done.... of course under the chinese warranty window.... thereafter, we would only engage the chinese for technical expertise on a very global level otherwise our engineers should be able to handle them if the curriculum is well developed.

None, but I know about 60 Kenya poly engineering graduates working as supervisors and foremen on SGR,Nairobi university should at least, secure some attachments like KIST (kiambu institute) have some civil eng. students on attachment on the steel and pre-stressed concrete factory at Emali, many village polytechnic guys working as casuals, but our engineers missing in action.
